When I go to a store to buy something, then, yes, I'm a customer as defined in the dictionary, "a person or organization that buys goods or services from a store or business." When I go to the library, I do nor purchase anything, rather I "borrow" an item (book, DVD, etc) or "attend" an event or "look at" art and pay no money. Perhaps a better choice would have been Library user or patron.<br /><br />Yes, I know, it's a small thing, but I'm tired of the trend that makes us all "customers" as if economic relations were the only kind of relations there are.Renenoreply@blogger.com
